Biography
Helen Maguire has engaged extensively on health and social care through 40 debate speeches, with a particular focus on cancer (including lobular breast cancer, secondary breast cancer, and breast screening), maternity services, and NHS access issues including dentistry, GP appointments, and A&E capacity. She has consistently raised concerns about NHS workforce shortages, patient dignity in hospital settings, and health inequalities, particularly affecting rural and deprived communities in her constituency. Her contributions reflect both personal advocacy for specific patient cases and broader scrutiny of Government health policy and spending transparency.

What they’ve said
“…While the debate is about her story with lobular breast cancer, I would like to focus on what made her Susan. Although Susan was known for her campaigning on lobular breast cancer, she was so much more than that—something her loved ones, who are here today, know all too well.”

“…Government, while patients suffer in crammed hospital corridors and cannot get a GP appointment. We must support the British life sciences sector. We can find ways to achieve that, but it must be a domestic matter for the UK Government to solve holistically through negotiations with the sector.”

“…I am angry and upset for all the families concerned, because this report reinforces what we already know: the maternity crisis must end and it must end now. Babies should have lived and mothers deserved better.”
